Sorry buddy, it seems as though my powers of procrastination are working a little quicker than yours today! :)

Yes. Am I still your favourite Coach? Are you still having a kick?

 

Barrett says we get the best big man at pick 3 just to "please" Jesse Hogan in hopes he signs on.
 

The theory is to sign a CHF but I can't name anyone at pick 3 what a [censored].

Moderators please spare me T o$$er is not worthy of censorship.

Why iot take the best mid who will deliver the ball to Jesse on a platter? I reckon that would please him too

What an insult to Dawes and Pedersen.

I deleted it, because Wiseblood beat me to it and mine was therefore superfluous.

Next time leave it cause I need to be told more than once!

What an insult to Dawes and Pedersen.

Well to Pedersen anyway
 

What an insult to Dawes and Pedersen.

Football industry trade & draft period is not meant to insult in terms of list management. It's about improvement with an eye for the future. Pinning your hopes on Dawes & Pederson, is a big risk.

Well that's the purple warrior at his ignorant best sorry mods but he is a To$$er. Golf or any other way you can get around it.

2 hours of wasted air space.

That is the best he can come up with. spare me.

But then he would ridicule us when a Parish/Curnow/Francis etc. started killing it and our "best key forward" is doing nothing.

The best two key position players are locked for picks 1 and 2. Why not get the best mid? idiot.

He may have networks that get him some "scoops" but the guy should stick to ambulance chasing and hiding in garbage cans like his mentor Hutchy, he doesn't have a clue or the credentials when it comes to analysing the game.

Warrior retrospectively 'Dee-bashing' over previous years trade activity.

In other news, water is still wet.

Was just thinking about GWS and their drafting. They have had the cream of draft picks and so many are gone or are on the way out.

Yet there is hardly a comment in the medya about them unlike the Dees that have copped it from pillar to post.

They have lost:

Pick 1

Boyd

pick 2

O'Rourke

pick 3

Plowman

tyson

Pick 12

Jaksch

Hoskin Elliot and Buntine look like busts and I can't be bothered going trough the rest of them but plenty are looking to leave....

If Melb. Was prepared to trade 6 for 3 &10 then 6 wasn't going to get what they wanted.

3 will get them Parish.

10 is tradeable because it won't get the tall they want.

Or the fish they want.

Barrett's a dumb firetruck

WIth Essendon having 4 and 5, there was a big chance someone like Curnow may not get through to 6. Getting 3 may net Curnow.

It may be Curnow, it may be Parish, hell it may be Weideman. Either way, we have targeted a player at 3 and (Taylor) want him. That fills me with some comfort.


Would we do 3 and 10 for Bombers 4 and 5, losing possibly our first choice, but getting 2 of 3 best available?

Would Bombers do that to get the bloke they want?

Whoops!!!

GNF you're an absolute muppet. From all the un-eventuated cr@p you dribbled last trade period to the above opinion that directly contradicted what Mahoney said on the radio, i'd have more belief in a mail-box than the stuff you hear!

so you're suggesting that everything Mahoney has said this trade period has been truthful and eventually accurate?

2 of Parish, Weideman & Curnow isn't bad, no matter which way you look at it.

 

I posted earlier that the man we want may not be Parish.

What if we know Bombers are desperate for Parish?

What if we let it be known we want Parish?

We then get pick 3.

We offer Parish and 10 to Bombers for 4 and 5.

Bombers get their man.

We get both of ours.

Good conspiracy theory or not?

so you're suggesting that everything Mahoney has said this trade period has been truthful and eventually accurate?

When trying to trade for the 'so-called player' GNF was alluding to, instead of taking the high picks to the draft.....................yes.

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag.

On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
